PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATION

Choose the Certification
That Fits Your Practice

Two distinct pathways developing grounded practitioner competency, ethical client support, embodied awareness, professional boundaries and responsible non-clinical guidance.

Choose Integrative Wellness Guide Certification for whole-person wellness and complementary practice, or Spiritual Guide Certification for consciousness, spiritual mentorship, intuitive practice and ceremony facilitation.

COMPARE THE CERTIFICATIONS

DIFFERENT PRACTICES REQUIRE DIFFERENT FOUNDATIONS

Wellness Guidance and Spiritual Guidance Are Not the Same Role.


Both pathways require ethical communication, consent, boundaries, embodied awareness and referral responsibility. Their purpose and application, however, are different.

Neither pathway is presented as superior, and neither is a prerequisite for the other. Select the certification that most closely reflects the work you intend to provide.

The Integrative Wellness Guide Certification develops a broad foundation in non-clinical wellness guidance, mindfulness, somatic practice, Reiki, energetic methods and complementary wellness education.

The Spiritual Guide Certification develops competency in consciousness education, spiritual mentorship, intuitive and energetic practice, embodied presence and ceremony facilitation.
